It has been a tough few hours for NFF claimant Chris Giwa who was interrogated on Friday shortly after his faction inaugurated a state FA Normalisation Committee at the Star View Palace Hotel, Abuja.

Earlier in the day, his club Giwa FC of Jos was expelled from the Nigeria Professional Football League by the League Management Company for its failure to play three cumulative matches.

This time around, an order for his interrogation came directly from the Commissioner of Police for the Federal Capital Territory, Wilson Inalegwu, whose men stormed the venue of the inauguration in three vans

The factional meeting which commenced around 12.30pm yesterday was rounded off around 2.20pm after which a member of the board, Shehu Adamu read out the communiqué in which they decided to fix a date for the convocation of an extra-ordinary general assembly of the NFF at a shortest time possible.

Shortly after that a plain-clothed officer who claimed to be from office of the Commissioner of Police asked Giwa out and he was driven in a black Toyota Camry marked GK 920 LSR at about 2.30 pm.

Ten minutes after the police took Giwa away, another batch of armed mobile policemen numbering around 38 stormed the hotel chanting war songs.

Ambassador Giwa and his men reappeared at the hotel around 5.10pm shortly after the 38 policemen had left the hotel.

He told the battery of reporters that there was nothing fishy or serious about his invitation by the Police.

“What the CP did is the right thing because he is in charge of the security of the [territory],” Giwa said.

“But if you want me to tell you my discussion with the CP it's like if you see me in the room with my wife and you ask what we were doing. But to your question, there was a gathering of people here and to the best of my own knowledge he has the right to do what he did.”
